Question Mini(63)+13B= ???

My uncle has got a 63 Mini cooper(1284lbs). I've been strongly pondering puting in a 13b twin turbo into the car. But I am not sure the reality of it. After adding the motor and a couple more standard features it will prolly weight close to 1500lbs. I'm wondering if it would be worth it. The 0-60 of a 145hp mini from this era was 3.5. The difficulty of an entire drivetrain switch would also be rather interesting. Looking for ne n all input on the idea.

if you were close enough i would come to your house and ring your neck for not hitting the F5 button to refresh to see if you post went through. the i wouldnt have had to just move 489 threads of the exact same thing.

I am putting the rotary into a '68 MG midget.
Which has the same mini motor in it.
There is info on a website that I can't find anymore chronicling this swap.
It's a (relatively) easy swap apparantly.
